I am home! Woot! Woot! I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am and nice it is to be home. I LOVE my bed. I LOVE my bathroom. I LOVE my shower! Yes, I took a shower. It felt so good. They took my needle out of my port this morning so taking a however was ago. I am happy to report that I have my hair.
Last night was not the best. I was done with all the chemo and premeds but I had the BIGGEST headache. I asked for Tylenol or Advil but all I was OK for was Vicodin. Vicodin is great for when you are in pain but not for a headache. I was in and out of sleep all night long. And I had some crazy thoughts. No zombies but crazy thoughts. I couldn’t get my mind to stop running. Luckily I was able to get something for my headache when I got home this morning.
I was able to take a nap today and ate a little pasta (thanks Devra and Jeff). Eating has been and issue. I ate about a cup and a half of it but it took about 45min for me to do it. I know I am hungry, I know I need to eat, I want to eat but it is so tiring to eat.
Oh! I threw up! About 30min before we left the hospital! Sorry but I said I would tell all…. Anyway, I was so bummed. I had been doing so well. I was taking my regular pills and I knew when they went down, all was not right. My Man was able to get the trash can to me in time. Theo (my RN) was like “What?!? Your about the leave!” Thankfully it did not slow us down.
Time passing…..
I am back. I bet you didn’t even know I was gone! Spent some time downstairs. Had some more pasta and caeser salad. I also had some ginger tea. I can’t remember who gave it to me but thank you! Then 6pm came around and the one thing that has been freaking me out was about to happen. My Man had to give me my shot! I was nervous….I think he was nervous. Panny and Timber, they weren’t nervous. Simon was a sleep. My Man went and washed his hands really good, cleaned my tummy and boom! Gave me the shot. There was a bit of blood that freaked him out a bit “Why did that happen?”, but overall it wasn’t too bad.
Still a bit nauseous but the meds are helping. Hopefully I will feel up to talking a bit tomorrow, got some work I need to do. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!
Good Night!
You sound great!!! I am so happy you are home. We are all praying for you.
I think you have been very lucky with the throwing up you should feel proud. Glad you found the food forgot to tell you. Happy the shot went well Justin is the man. Tomorrow think of dad at 11:08am he will be trucking. Love you lots.
Glad you’re home in your own bed and shower. Hugs and prayers!
So glad you are home. What! Shot in the stomach? No way.
Keep us posted!
It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to eat take your time just try to eat. From
some one who had no idea about that sort of thing. Just your mom have a good day.
Glad the pasta was well received…sending lots of love!!
